Faith the Cat went 1-1, 2-2 so far in her picks. (She has the Eagles and the over tonight, so we’ll recalculate the stats next week, but right now we stand 25-15 overall, but only 9-11 in teasers.)
This week Jazz takes his turn in the hot seat, the third of the four cats who sub in for a month while our normal animal prognosticator, Ernesto the Prediction Iguana, is on vacation. Jazz likes hanging out watching me write, escaping from any room in which he’s put, and hunting the heck out of mice. (He’s a badass. I’ve seen him stalk – like a feline Velociraptor. He also plays a mean piano down at the Iridium. Here are his picks for Week 11:
AFC WEST ROAD WARRIORS!
broncos -1 at RAMS
chargers -2 at RAIDERS
Just when Ram fans (like pro golfer Jay Williamson) start tweeting things like “we look like a real team!” that’s when the carriage turns back into a pumpkin. They shouldn’t have a chance against Peyton and his air attack. The Chargers could totally get upset here: Oakland is desperate for a win and the Chargers sometimes morph into the bad team Norv Turner coached.
TRUMP CARDS
CARDINALS +3 vs. lions
CARDINALS-lions OVER 37
Carson Palmer’s wondow is closing, but so are the Cardinals…closing games that is. NFL’s best record…the Lions have only played two teams with winning records this season, and the Cards are not some NFC North softie.
SUPER BOWL PREVIEW? OR NOT…
patriots +8.5 vs. COLTS
49ers +5.5 at GIANTS
The Patriots might return to the big dance…the Niners aren’t playing up to that standard, but the Gnats…err…Giants are worse.
